Pours a hazy orange/copper with a thin white head. Funky sour lemon nose. Sour vinegar and lemon flavor with some lemon peel and hop bitterness in the finish. Pretty tasty. j12601 (1231), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Bottle at Paul’s tasting. Bottle of the 2004. Pours a murky brown with a thin white head. Huge Cantillon acid and funk with some buttery caramel. Big acid and vinegar, light caramel. Big lingering acid. Delicious. PhillyBeer2112 (2086), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 14, 2009 2006 bottle, 2008 cork. MMM mmm. Dull copper color with a light carbonation but no head. Aroma is acidic lemon, grassy or wet hay, and notes of cherries or something vinous. Flavor is lemony, notes of acetic acid, very dry finish although up front it has a good combo of sweet and sour. Good acidity but not overwhelming sourness, very refreshing. Not strongly funky but for maybe a hint of barnyard at the finish. I can’t seem to detect much of the hops, though there’s a light bitterness, but its a year old bottle. y0cola (361), fremont, California, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 11, 2009 gripping my throat with the clutch of citrus death, ass completely kicked by the sour acid flavor of this Burr. Wet hay, lemon, sour cherries in the aroma. This flavor has citrus, vinegar, manure in the aftertaste. Carbonation of a sprite - perfect palate pimping. satan165 (566), River Grove, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 10, 2009 vintage 2005, 750ml bottle. tons of black crud all over the cap and neck of the bottle. cork however pops cleanly. aroma is vinous mix of booze and vinegar, sweet/sour interplay. lemon drop candy. ladies perfume characteristics. stench of must and nearly mold but not at all in the typical wild yeast notes i am familliar with. flavor is big tartness, lemon and more vinegar. not as soft as a gueuze or perhaps that is the intense (for the style) hopping at work. fruit rind/pith bitterness and sourness. gigantic beer that has alot to say, though i think i prefer my mariage parfait if i must choose a favorite lambic.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 4, 2009 750ml 2006 bottle. Darker orange pour with a large beige head. Shows much of the typical Cantillon brashness on the nose. Lemon, grapefruit, and some really funky herbal note. Not too bracing in the mouth. Very soft, in fact. Full-bodied for a lambic. Extraordinary balance, finish is long and beautiful. I prefer this to the harder Cantillons, it may be the best lambic I’ve tried in fact. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
